Playground Equipment questions, answered by experts
You can start by finding playground installers in your area that have amassed mostly positive reviews online. Next, search for the companies on the Better Business Bureau’s (BBB) website to see if any consumer complaints have been filed. Once you rule out companies with poor reviews and a history of complaints, contact the remaining options and ask the following questions to find the right installer for you:
Will you pull permits if required?
Do you offer a warranty?
How long do you expect the installation to take?
Do you have experience working with the specific playground material I want?
For artificial turf that’s the most durable, look for heat-resistant products with thicker blades. Keep in mind that there’s a difference between artificial grass versus artificial turf, with turf consisting of a shorter look while artificial grass is longer and more closely resembles real grass.
The average cost to install a playground is around $500, with most homeowners spending between $150 and $1,200 on installation labor. The total project cost can range from $500 to $2,500. These prices typically do not include the playground equipment itself, which can cost an additional $100 to $1,500.
Several factors influence the final installation cost:
Playset Details: The type, size, material, design complexity, and number of accessories.
Site Preparation: Costs may increase if the land needs to be leveled.
Yard Accessibility: Difficult access for installers can raise labor costs.
Customization: Custom-built playgrounds are more expensive to install than premade kits.
Permits: Local permitting fees may apply.
Additionally, remember to budget for playground surfacing, which can cost $15 to $160 per cubic yard, or up to $225 per cubic yard for poured rubber.
Wood, metal, and plastic are common materials. Choose based on durability, aesthetics, and maintenance needs.
Yes! It’s always a good idea to anchor your playset. Even though they’re heavy, it doesn’t take much wind to blow one over. Anchoring everything to the ground makes it a lot safer for your kiddos.
